Where Pro-Life Democrats Speak

Beyond Abortion—A Common Good Feminism for the Twenty-First Century

Article I co-wrote with Christopher Hale, Anne Roan Thomas, and Sarah Rosemann: “Neither ideological extremism nor partisanship should stand in the way of accomplishing this worthy goal. The time has come to dial down the nasty rhetoric and the perpetual vitriol and work together on a goal everyone can agree on without compromising their deepest values: to create a country whose political and economic structures, whose social and cultural values, make it a place where abortion is no longer needed or desired by pregnant women. The conflict over the legality of abortion will inevitably persist, but feminists on both sides of the issue can and should work together on issues where there is common ground.”

It spoke to the heart of the consistent life ethic and whole life principles we share as Pro-Life Democrats. The writers on this blog, a project of Democrats for Life of America, look to promote the best of the Democratic tradition, which is articulated so eloquently in this compact, for the respect and dignity for the whole person.
